A month of making games with AI
Five tracks for different people — from a schoolkid to a studio — in one programme: one entry, one intensive, one AI-disclosure rule and one finale on the stage of AI & Digital Bridge 2026.
AI Month
The month's tracks
GenAI Jam
Developers, teams of 1–4
Starts 28 September · deadline 1 October · final pitching on 3 October at AI & Digital Bridge
Four days, 28 September to 1 October, to build a playable web game with generative AI in at least two of the four production layers. The ten best pitch on the forum stage, and the top twenty get a two-month acceleration.
Open the event →GameDev Creaton
Ages 16–25: editors, designers, writers, SMM
Ten days making creatives for a game that is actually shipping: vertical videos, statics, UGC, a character-blogger, a short visual novel. The best work goes into a live campaign — and the author sees a click-through rate and a cost per wishlist, not a jury score. No coding required.
Register interest ↓ROBLOX Hackathon
Teenagers aged 13–18, teams of 2–4
Ten days: a two-day offline kickoff, a week of development, a final. The outcome is a published playable experience, not a file in a folder. AI is allowed and disclosed layer by layer.
Register interest ↓Minecraftstan
Teenagers aged 10–17, teams of 3–6
Three weeks: teams rebuild real places of Kazakhstan in blocks — and turn them into somewhere you can actually do something: a route, a quest, a tour.
